joined again because I enjoyed my first time wwoofing a few years back, and am eager to come back. I like to keep busy during holidays, happy to be working outdoors and maybe learn a few new skills along the way. After work I love to explore the area or go bushwalking

Horse Farm, Riding School and Rehabilitated Bushland one hour from Sydney. Family owned and operated.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

Georgella Farm is a charming small family hobby farm on semi-rural acreage, just a short drive from Coffs Harbour, Sawtell, and beautiful beaches. Here, WWOOFers can experience farm life up close with our friendly animals—sheep, chooks, a cat, and two bunnies—while helping out with day-to-day tasks like feeding, gardening, mulching, pruning, fencing, and general yard and house maintenance. During free time, there’s plenty to explore in the surrounding area. You can visit pristine beaches, go swimming or surfing, take bushwalks, explore local markets, or enjoy the cafes and shops in Coffs Harbour and Sawtell. The region offers a great mix of natural beauty and small-town charm, perfect for relaxing after a day on the farm. Accommodation is in a small cabin for one person (possibly two), with shared meals provided. We offer a mixed diet and can accommodate most dietary needs. Please note, this is a non-smoking environment.

Our goal is to learn as much about home steading, gardening, and animal care as possible, as our goal is to design and build our own self-sufficient home and gardens. We love travelling and both have a keen interest to explore Australia, meet new like-minded people and expand our knowledge and understanding about these topics.

Our beautiful 58 ha property is located in Rose Valley on the picturesque South Coast, 2 hours drive south of Sydney. 2.5 hrs on the train from Sydney. We are a 10 min bike ride from the beach, have a beautiful creek,with swimming holes, running through the property. Our farm runs cattle & horses. We also have a few chickens, an orchard & veggie garden. Volunteering includes gardening, weeding, tree planting, & bush regeneration including lantana removal. Carpentry work using recycled timbers.

Our farm is on a hill with lovely views about 5 minutes outside Yass, NSW; that is three hours south west of Sydney, 7 hours north east of Melbourne and 45 minutes north west of Canberra (the national capital). Yass is on the intersection of the highways between those three cities and on the railway between Sydney and Melbourne. We are a developing ‘whole’ farm - growing, cooking, bunching, drying and crafting with flowers, fruit and plants of all kinds, and taking bouquets and preserves to local markets and cafes. We follow organic and sustainable practices and are continually improving our soil and planting. We have developed a very attractive property, with beautiful house, gazebos, gardens and landscaped areas, intending to soon welcome the public for tours and workshops. We look forward to our WWOOFers being able to enjoy learning about our farm life and practices, and helping out while still having lots of free time. Beyond our place you can see livestock on neighbouring properties, kangaroos, the hills of the picturesque Yass River Valley and, in the distance, the Brindabella mountains that lead to the Snowy Mountains, while on our property you can meet our two gentle Maremma sheepdogs, two cats, Babydoll sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, watch all the wild birdlife and use our swimming pool in the warmer months. We work hard and there's a lot to do every day- but we tailor the place and hours of work to suit the weather and season. If it is going to be hot we might start very early and rest in middle of the day. If it rains, there are indoor tasks to complete. We can tailor the work to your special interests and competencies, give you lots of free time to relax and help you with sightseeing. We invite you to enjoy home-cooked meals with us (and cook a meal of your own!), have a laugh, and socialise with our family and friends. We hope to meet enthusiastic, responsible and mature WWOOFers, who enjoy country surroundings, who are keen to learn and help out, and are appreciative and respectful, just like we are. Send us a message with any questions, and an idea of when you’d like to stay. We normally like volunteers to stay for at least 2 weeks so they can enjoy a wide variety of activities  and after initial messages like to finalise plan by phone. We look forward to hearing from you!

I appreciate nature, simplicity, and the connection between people, the earth, and animals. I’m eager to meet those who understand and respect the land, learn how to plant and harvest, and work towards self-sufficiency.

Bolwarrah Gardens is situated at the southern tip of the Central Highlands of Victoria at 610m above sea level with rich volcanic soil, spring-fed dams and shelter from winds via tall pines. The property has 150 established olive trees, a chestnut and hazelnut grove, 12 apple varieties, as well as berries, plum, pear, cherry, apricot and fig trees over 5 hectares. The veggie patch and greenhouse grows organic vegetables enough for two families with plenty of preserved goods to use over the colder months. The ornamental gardens provide a biodiverse oasis with beautiful colour and form for year round interest as well as flowers for the bees and plenty of organic matter for making compost. Compost is also activated by a herd of guinea pigs which graze grass under the apple trees and eat vegetable clippings. We make our own wood chip to mulch trees and garden beds and keep worm farms for fertility. We make our own bread and exchange for eggs and goat's milk made on neighboring farms.

I'm really interested in self-sufficient, permaculture, or some way to live with animals and nature. In this modern era, we even don't know where the food we eat every day comes from. We just go to a supermarket, buying some packed foods and consume them, then throw away many plastic. I don't know how a farmer grow vegetables, picking/packing, transporting to the market. I don't know how to milk a cow, how to kill pigs, how many people are related to transport these products and determine the market price. I feel this is crazy. I want to know and experience how foods I consume every day are produced and come to the table. I often search how to start self-sufficient life, wondering how to do, and found the best way is to learn from people who realise the self-sufficient life. There're several work exchange sites to provide similar service to WWOOF like Helpx, Workaway, and I'm also interested in such services because cultural exchanges is also very attractive. However, my main purpose is to learn how to realise the self-sufficient life, permaculture or any sustainable way of life. WWOOF is the best work exchange sites to connect with the host.

I joined WWOOF to experience authentic Australian farm life, learn sustainable practices and meet people in a meaningful way. I enjoy contributing through practical work, learning from hosts and exchanging cultures. WWOOF is for me a great way to slow down, live simply, improve my English and be part of real projects, while helping hosts with motivation, respect and a strong work ethic.

We have a beautiful 40 acre horse agistment property, veggie garden & fruit trees and approx. 5 acres bush. 3 min drive to surf beach, bay beach & Inverloch town or 10 min drive to Wonthaggi, a larger town. Push bikes available. About 15 to 20 minutes to the beach and town by bike. We are very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle and hope that our WWOOFers are also interested in living sustainably and learning, and sharing knowledge of this. There are almost always wallabies and kangaroos at our farm and if you are lucky you may see echidnas, wombats & occasional koalas. Volunteering may include harvesting, fertilizing, pollinating, composting, mulching, hay carting, weeding, fencing, planting, food preservation, and other jobs as they become available.  Sometimes there is some work caring for horses: often all the work is in the garden and paddock maintenance, as the horses are mainly looked after by their owners. Accommodation for up to 3 in our home, although we usually prefer 2. Shared meals, cook together. We eat a healthy, sustainable diet.  Bron is vegan and while Ray eats most foods, many meals are vegan or vegetarian.  Vegetarians & vegans catered for.  No children, no smoking, all stays negotiable on application. Please let us know your available dates when you apply and the length of time that you would like to WWOOF here. (1 to 2 weeks preferred).
